The Last Story Boss Strategy

Chapter 1: CocoonThe attacks are powerful, and the HP is big. You can dodge his ranged attacks and block the close ones. The damage is more if your weapon has the fire element.

A door will open after you have eaten a little of its HP, it’s easier if you go outside, but it’s up to you. You can do a lot of damage by hitting his head with your bow as well.

Chapter 2: Forest BeastThe boss has only two attacks (rush forward and a paw swipe). It’s an easy one; you can dodge and block his attacks. It will run away once you lower its HP.

Chapter 6: GhoulThis boss has two main attacks (charging and falling forward with the use of front legs). You will learn to defeat the boss from Quark i.e. climbing up the stairs, hiding along the rail and then slashing him when he’s near.

Try to avoid gathering during the battle, use it only when you want to regenerate the health. Elemental Damage and Jackal’s ice magic circles are an advantage in this fight.

Chapter 10: ZangurgDon’t use anything special in this battle as Elza cannot win this battle. Once defeated, Elza will be revived by Kanan’s magic.

Chapter 12: MuruuThe attacks (feet stomping and head-butting) are easy to block. The main attack is when he’s falling down; you can avoid it as well. Use the Kanan’s yellow magic circles when he is curling up into shell and then spinning around.

It will give you the deflector status or Elza will get paralyzed if not. He is vulnerable when he gets onto two feet and starts to wobble, simply go near him and press A to ride on him and then attack repeatedly.

Chapter 14: Doppel GangerIt’s a Doppel Ganger who will block the sword attacks of Elza and counter. Once Quark has noticed about the magic circles, the Doppelganger will start to shoot sticky goo at the party. It will start to laugh once it strikes Elza, you can attack him now.

Repeat the process until it comes out of the mirror. When he gets onto Elza’s head, shake the stick to get rid of him. Now all of your party members will be copied, and you won’t know who the real ones are. Kill the fake Elza and you will notice that the fakes have a black and a red light on their eyes.

Your team members will also swear at you if you attack them so you’ll know you’re doing it wrong. Later, the Doppelgangerswill start to cycle their positions to confuse you. The ones with “?” on their heads are supposed to be on your side. You will have to use the Yuri’s Reverse Spell to avoid the Manamia cast curing spells.

Chapter 15: Mystic SpiderThis spider is not vulnerable at the start (when he has the guard drawn). Later, it will spawn baby spiders who will attack the party members by head-butting and shooting webs.

If you fail to free Manamia from the web, then she will die, and you will have to fight without a healer. The easy way to free your party members from the bindings is to use Wind.

Make use of the Yuri’s magic circles and attack from the side. You can defeat him by avoiding his attacks and repeating the process.

Chapter 16: MarbasObserve the running routes of Marbas and make use of the Green Cannon shells as you cannot hit him directly due to his speed.

You can use the Green Cannon shells as a mine and explode them when it’s the right time, it will paralyze the boss for a specific time and make him vulnerable.

Chapter 20: NebirousHe’s a vampire; use your Silver Arrows to make him vulnerable so the party can attack him. Don’t worry if you run out of Silver Arrows as the ghost child will get you more. If he runs away, chase him and hurt him until he dies.

Chapter 21: Lesser ShadeYou can only hurt him with Yuri’s fire circles or knock over the torches near the shade and then attack him with elemental damage. A quick kill will get you a bow gun as a reward.

Chapter 22: ShadeYou can only hurt him with magic or elemental damage. You may command Manamia to cast a plant spell on the shade so you can create a magic circle and then attack him.

Repeat the process until he dies. Note: After half of its HP is down, it will summon Quark, and you will have to kill him to fight shade again.

Chapter 23: Master TristaYou will have to use all of your unique skills once! Do it once so the battle can move on? Trista’s jumping slam is vital so try to avoid it.

Note: There will be a number of cut-scenes (4) in which you will have to push up or down for blocking the attacks, 4th will be the last one. The arrows are useless against Trista as all of them will be blocked.

Chapter 25: KrakenAttack the tentacles, when one falls off. The head will pop up to fire a beam on the ceiling of the cave, watch out for the falling rock as it will do a lot of damage. You may use the fallen rock as a massive damaging weapon by using it for a Dunk Slash! Repeat the process.

Chapter 34: BerithDON’T let Earl die, if he dies, the game is over; he won’t help you in the battle either. The Berith has a shield and a health bar, both will have to be taken out.

The Kanan’s magic circles will do a lot of damage to damage the shield. You can also use the other attacks, repeat the process as the shield may regenerate. Later, the other characters will join the battle to make it easier!

Chapter 34: MitraIf you attack Mitra, he’ll attack Earl, who is low on lives now. Use the Manamia’s Plant magic and then the Wind to spray silence.

Mitra will fall onto the floor by this, attack him with the help of your party now. Avoid the projectiles which are launched out, they cause massive damage. Repeat!

Chapter 35: DarkmuruuThe Darkmuruu has the ability to paralyze you, cast fire damage circles, and even possess your allies. You will have to lure your allies into the Manamia’s healing circle to fix them. It’s just tricky to kill; it will drop a General Sword.

NebirousSame as the one in the Haunted Mansion but he’ll summon reinforcements in this one. Use the silver arrows to get rid of him quickly.

Monstrous SpiderAs others, he has a shield too. Try to attack from the back side or use the Knight Sword, Grand Swell Sword is very effective here. It will move around and different items will fall onto you, watch out. Use spells of Yuri and Wind to Guard Break.

Chapter 37: Zefa n ZeshaThe twins are one of the strongest bosses. Zefa puts on a barrier, and Zesha attacks the party from behind.

Use the spell onto the shield of the same color and it will start to damage the barrier. When it’s broken, watch out for a heavy jumping attack. Zefa’s life will get drained, and a cut-scene will follow.

Chapter 37: AtarStay alive until your party members arrive, avoid the damage circles and dodge the fireballs. He will also shoot some beams and lightning powers. When your party members are here, cast forest by Manamia and then Wind. It will drop the Atar on the ground, attack.

When you have learnt about summoning Mitra, always command her to do it when Atar is on the ground and make sure that you cover Mitra. When Atar has lost its wings, you can attack it until it dies.

Chapter 38: JillHide behind the rail after you dodge his jumping attack and the slash! A counter will do a good amount of damage. The cut-scene sequence is Up, Down, Up or Up, Down, Left.

Chapter 39: Last CocoonDon’t go anyway near to the Cocoon and stay back, it will drain the health of your partners and when its health bar is full, a cut-scene will play.

The 2nd time he comes and stops attacking your party members, you can attack him, but he’ll be blazingly fast in dodging your attacks. Counter the projectiles which he throws or attacks him when he’s climbing the pillars.

When it transforms into the third state, you can only kill him by dropping the sword which is in the room with many pillars. It’s above the altar, get the Cocoon beneath it and use your arrows to drop it on him. This won’t kill him but then you can ride it and finish it.

Chapter 40: ZefaSame as before, what you have to fight now is Gurg warrior instead of his brother. Zefa will cast a strong spell after you’ve broken the barriers; stay close the Manamia so you don’t die. When he puts on a magic barrier, use Manamia’s forest.

Later, another barrier will be put on, and you won’t be able to break it. Yuri’s will come after a time and break it with fire magic. Now you can cast reverse to counter damage circles and repeat.

Chapter 40: ZeshaIt’s hard to fight Zesha when you’re with three members only. Try to sneak up from behind and then attack. Don’t try combo attacks and watch out for his jumping slash. When Jackal and Seiren join the party, you can simply attack him when his guard is down.

He won’t die, and a couple of more enemies will join in. You will be told to leave and head on to the main objective, the easier way. If you wish, you can still try to take out Zesha, which is VERY DIFFICULT.

Chapter 40: Zangurg Round 1Try not to attack Zangurg from the front, almost all the attacks will be blocked, and the counter may knock you over the platform.

You will have to run beside him and attack after his large swing, this will damage him. Alternative is to block his combos and counter attack.

Try not to get caught, he will slam you and result in massive damage. Repeat the process and he’ll pass away.

Chapter 40: Zangurg 2When Elza tells that he can’t break up the shield, move towards the blue door so your party comes in. The only way to damage the shield is to dodge the Zanlance he throws and then throw it back towards the shield, repeat.

You can also try to throw the Prank bananas. When his guard is off, grab his weapon and attack until the health reaches to critical. Use Kanan’s Tension Arte and protect the party; let him throw a lance as it’s the only way to finish him.

Chapter 40: QuarkEasy, attack and avoid his grabbing attacks. Make sure a healer is next to you and alive.

Chapter 40: Quark (Monster)The human will transform into a monster. A more powerful and a deadly enemy equipped with a giant sword. You cannot attack him until his barrier is there, in the mean-while, he’ll throw fireballs and Guard Break attacks.

You cannot attack him until a cut-scene is played. When Yuri can use a Big Bang, cast it on the barrier to break it. A good way to let them do their work is to attract Quark by gathering. When the guard is off, you can let the Yuri’s charge up again and attack with another one.

When his health is below 50%, he’ll start to use his sword. Attack until his health finishes, and when it does you’ll have another form.

Chapter 40: Quark (Largest Form)Quark is very powerful in this shape. He does not use his sword and slaps the party members. Two of his slaps are enough to floor the members; he will then slam you.

Shake the control stick to dodge his slamming attack. Failing to dodge the attack will result in 99999 of damage. He has a laser attack too. It’s damn powerful as well.

You will have to climb the blocks in the area (they will keep on re-spawning) and get high enough that you reach Quark’s head. Now do a Dunk Slash to damage him and repeat until his health is 0 and a cut-scene is played.

Epilogue: TashaTasha can use Dunk Slash and Slash; everything else is pretty much the same as Master Trista so you can use the same strategies. The best way to damage him is via counter attacks.

Chapter 42: Gold SpiderThe spider has spit webbing, body slams. He will eat the floored and webbed party members; you will only have Elza and Kanan though. At a point, the spider will eat Kanan, and Elza will get worried, Kanan will say that she’ll use magic from the inside, and you can attack from the outside to set her free.

Elza may get eaten as well. You can swing from the inside and keep yourself healing as your health will keep on decreasing because you’re swallowed. A bunch of lizards will join at the end of the fight, kill them all and continue attacking the spider. A good way is to get Elza swallowed and attack from the inside.

Chapter 44: Mad KrakenThe Mad Kraken is similar to the ordinary kraken, but its color is pink. As the old one, cut off its tentacles and then aim for the head.

These tentacles can now give you the sticky (betobet) effect as well. The Kraken is strong and will deal a lot of damage to you if you get any closer.

He will cast black magic circles, which shoot deadly spikes so be careful. Use Yuri’s Meteo as Kraken is vulnerable to fire and also cast magic circles. Dodge his attacks and repeat the process.
